Lovella owned and operated Central Park Antique shop for 45 years. She retired in 2017. Her antique store was her pride and joy! She really enjoyed all her customers and made many friends over the years. Mom loved going to garage sales, always finding a treasure to take home, not that she needed any more treasures!

Lovella is survived by Timothy Lalka of Aberdeen, Cheryl Lalka of Aberdeen, Douglas Lalka of Estacada, Oregon; Debbie Simon of Hoquiam, and Karen Smith and son-in-law Bruce of Laguna Nigel, California. She is also survived by seven grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, a sister Arlene Lalka of Beaverton, Oregon; a brother Marvin Perekrestenko of Aloha, Oregon; and nieces and nephew.

Lovella is preceded in death by her husband Mitchell Lalka and her parents, Sam and Freida Perekrestenko.

A family service was held on July 23, 2021. Lovella was laid to rest at Wynoochee Cemetery in Montesano.

God blessed us with the most wonderful, caring and loving Mother. We will miss her dearly, Mom will be forever in our hearts.
